Unattended silent install of NTA (NetFlow) to use different database server than Orion NPM

Is there a way to preform an unattended install of NTA (NetFlow) and configure it to place its database on a separate physical server than the one Orion database uses? Example NPM places its database on Server1 and NTA places its database on Server2

The message in the hyperlinks below says "If NTA were one of the products to install, the silent installer also installs the Flow Storage Database on the same computer"

  • the "If NTA were one of the products to install, the silent installer also installs the Flow Storage Database on the same computer" refers to Example A: which is pretty much 'Evaluate Orion and place everything in the same server using SQL Express".

    I believe you're after "Example C: Standard fresh NTA installation with an NTA SQL Flow Storage database", which is a good starting point
